Our new family member!!!

Well we also got a new dog this week!! Her name is Jaycie and she's such a sweet girl!! We've been wanting another dog for awhile now but haven't found the right one and did not want a puppy. Before kids our two "kids" were our dogs, a beagle named Lady and a weimaraner named Noah. We loved those dogs and they were truly our spoiled "kids". Right when we brought Phoebe home from the hospital Lady was acting really weird and would lay on the sofa and shake and then jump up and run to the other side of the living room and hunch over and shake. We went to the vet and they said she had bloody diarrhea and to give her some pills and special food for a week. Two weeks later she was no better and so we brought her back to the vet. After many tests and a lot of money afterwards we ended up having to put her to sleep because she had a tumor in her stomach that was causing liver failure. That was sooooo sad and a horrible experience. Well then Noah was okay with Phoebe as a baby and was okay with her crawling but once she got walking and then running he couldn't get away from her and she got on his nerves. He snapped at her one morning when we were all laying in bed so we knew we had to get rid of him. He just was never around kids and his breed is known for not being good with small kids so we gave him to my mom. And they love each other and both are happy together!! We knew we didn't want to get a puppy because they are just way too hyper and I don't have the time to potty train. So Jaycie is 18 months old, potty trained, not hyper and spazzed out like a puppy and is a great dog. Phoebe & Eliott have both already pulled on her and Phoebe hugs and kisses her all the time and says "I love you" and Jaycie is fine with all of it. We got her from Tulsaboxerrescue.net and we can tell she's been hit before because she'll cower down sometimes but she's such a sweet girl. They said that she had been left tied up in a backyard for 2 weeks and the homeowners left. OH MY, how can people be so cruel??
Anyway, just wanted you to meet our new family member, Jaycie!
